Get to know: Domaine de la Bretonniere, Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur Lie
Tasting Note
A French favourite from the Loire Valley, made using the Melon de Bourgogne grape. This is a wonderful light, dry white with an intense, complex nose. The palate is fruity with green apple, lemon and melon fruit and a dry finish.
Ideal as an aperitif or with fish and shellfish
Kate Says
"One of my favourite wines at this price. I love Muscadet - you get fresh citrussy, appley wines. This one is Sur Lie which means it has a bit more body and creaminess from time spent on its yeast. Great with oysters and other shellfish."
